Dashing top-order batsman Tushar Imran cracked 93 as the second-string national team pulled off its first victory on the England tour.

The right-hander, with a hundred against Gloucestershire in the first three-day match, clobbered 11 fours and a six off 91 balls as the tourists, who were always in control in pursuit of the 155-run revised winning target, eventually reached it with 12 overs to spare at Liverpool.

Bangladesh began the chase on the wrong foot when they lost captain Shahriar Nafees (7) with the score on 12. But a 61-run second wicket stand between one-down Tushar and Nafees Iqbal steadied the innings. Nafees made a patient 21 from 43 balls.

Tushar's magnificent knock ended with the team just six runs away from victory.

Experienced Alok Kapali (23 not out) 23 guided the side home.

Earlier, left-arm spinner Abdur Razzaq picked up three for 25 and paceman Shahadat Hossain took two wickets for 22 runs as Lancashire were bowled out for 149 after being sent into bat.
